For a change in creative genre, Lliam Murphy and I decided to produce a photo together which tells a thousand words.
Inspired by the book of Revelations 5:8
And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.
Its not a perfect representation of that verse, but its more of an interpretation, and in what we call in Acting Land, an As If. Its As If that Golden Bowl of Prayers had fallen from heaven and been captured by someone who wasn’t of faith, who had never prayed before. She is now desperately sucking in those prayers of Gods people in order to pray the prayers she never had words for.

The photo took a few weeks to put together, watch the behind the scenes video to see some of the process.
